/** @file path-array.hpp
 ** Foundation abstraction to implement path-like component sequences.
 ** This library class can be used to build a path abstraction for data structure access
 ** or some similar topological coordinate system, like e.g. [UI coordinates](\ref ui-coord.hpp)
 ** A PathArray is an iterable sequence of literal component IDs, implemented as tuple of `Literal*`
 ** held in fixed inline storage with possible heap allocated (and thus unlimited) extension storage.
 ** It offers range checks, standard iteration and array-like indexed component access; as a whole
 ** it is copyable, while actual components are immutable after construction.
 ** 
 ** @remark the choice of implementation layout is arbitrary and not based on evidence.
 **         A recursive structure with fixed inline storage looked like an interesting programming challenge.
 **         Using just a heap based array storage would have been viable likewise.
 ** @todo when UICoord is in widespread use, collect performance statistics and revisit this design.
 ** @todo WIP 9/2017 first draft ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////TICKET #1106 generic UI coordinate system
